Tiny Link is a recurring character from The Legend of Zelda series. It is the form Link takes upon using the Gnat Hat or a Picori Portal. Becoming Tiny Link allows Link to traverse otherwise inaccessible areas; however, it also opens him up to new forms of damage given his smaller form, such as raindrops on Mt. Crenel or violent insects. Sometimes, Tiny Link is controlled in the ordinary overworld as a very small character; other sections allow Link to be controlled at normal size, but zoomed into the smaller area. The sword is the only weapon Tiny Link can use in areas accessible as regular sized Link.
